EiPEC'IFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 324,662, dated August 18, 1885.

Application filed May 1l` 1F85. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT T. CRAWFORD, of New Castle, in the county of Lawrence and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vehicle4 Seats; and I do hereby declare the following tc be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

'My invention relates to vehicleseats, the objectbeing to provide a seat with corner braces or supports of improved construction.

The invention consists in the features of construction hereinafter 'fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure l representsa portion of a Vehicle-seat provided with my improvements, and Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional detail views.

A represents a portion of a seat-bottom to which my corner devices are applied.

B represents one of the corner-irons, consisting of a post, I1, angle-arms b', and lateral extensions b2. rThe arms b b are formed at a right angle to the post b, and are secured to the seat-bottom by screws or other means, as shown. Theiextensions b2 b2 of the post are hollow to receive the ends of the seat-rails G G, and said extensions are preferably formed with perforated lugs g g, t0 permit the attachment of a shifting top for the seat.

C represents a modified form of the iron designed for the front corners of aseat. In this instance the post b is formed with a single extension, b3, to receive the front end of the seatrail, and also with a handle, D.

By the construction thus described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the labor of constructing a stick-seat77 is materially lessened, Vthe ordinary blaeksmiths work is avoided, the parts of the seat are readily joined and secured, a iirmer and stronger seat is obtained, and expense is materially reduced.

It will be understood that all of the parts of my improved corner-iron are made integral, so that the whole may be made in one piece from malleable iron or other suitable metal.

Vhat I claim as my invention is A corner-iron for vehicle-seats, consisting of a post provided at its lower end with angie-arms and at its upper end with laterallyprojecting sockets to receive the ends of the seat-rails, said sockets being integrally formed with perforated lugs to permit the attachnient of a top to the scat, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
